Description of the problem	I own a 2009 highlander hybrid and am concerned that i am experiencing the same type of problems with braking that are now being reported for the prius. Sometimes, when braking it feels like the brakes are not engaging and there is a sensation that the car is speeding up. Continued pressure on the brake pedal finally slows the car down. I was recently involved in a minor accident when i was unable to brake quickly enough when approaching a traffic light and hit the car in front. The sensation that the brakes were not engaging was experienced at that time as well as on other occasions. I reported this issue to my toyota dealer just a few weeks ago, and the mechanic who test drove the vehicle, with me in the passenger seat, stated he experienced a similar delay in braking. The brakes were then tested using computerized diagnostics and i was told everything checked out ok but was offered no explanation of why i was having this issue with the brakes. I am sharing this issue with you as i believe my highlander hybrid 2009 may not be consistently trustworthy when the brakes are needed. Please advise. *tw
